Tennessee Williams couldn't have stated it better. I buckled up in driver's ed class (1973) and haven't quit. I got my Dad to do so by saying, "My Car doesn't have a hood ornament but I'm not looking for any volunteers." Before then, he never used a seat belt. Please folks use your seat belts and don't have more passengers riding with you than there are seat belts available. This is such a heartbreaking tragedy.

I've lived in SE Michigan and Kentucky but visit my dearest friend in Violet as often as possible. I LOVE listening to Cajun and Yat accents. I prefer to speak like I did in Kentucky since it's so much more colorful. I only do with people I know well due to prejudice.

The lack of religious tolerance by some people in our country is unconscionable. Wake up - the U.S. has always been a country of immigrants. If Native Americans are willing to tolerate our presence, in spite of Manifest Destiny, then there's no excuse for the rest of us not to follow their lead.

Amen, lynnbjohns50, I'm sick to death of the rantings by living heart donors. These are the very same people who are clueless about how truly fortunate they are, but that Luck is the most fickle of ladies. One can only hope that one day, when the worm turns, they'll learn a little humility from the experience.
